Dr. Sara Gottfried spoke to TODAY special anchor Maria Shriver about how eating right for your hormones can help women lose weight for good.
"I was just feeling hope for the first time," French said."Some of my menopause symptoms were already fading. I wasn't having the night sweats, I wasn't having the hot flashes in the daytime. I was feeling clearer and I was definitely feeling more energetic."
To determine if you have a hormone imbalance, ask your primary care provider about administering a simple blood test that can reveal that information. Gottfried gave Shriver a list of foods that are good for maintaining those hormone levels during a visit to the supermarket. To balance insulin levels, the hormone that helps you regulate whether you store or burn fat, Gottfried recommends stocking up on dark, leafy greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, onions, and foods like avocados that are rich in healthy fats.
Those vegetables are also packed with fiber, which Gottfried said can help you"with feeling like you're full longer." Proteins like chicken, salmon, shrimp and scallops can help balance metabolic hormones, which are essential for losing weight.

But more should be done.
